"the flesh, the salt water, the blood, the ink"

I wake in a cold sweat

again and again

you haunt my days, you haunt my nights

no one makes me feel the way that you do


(Chorus)

I love you baby, the flesh, the salt water, the blood and the ink

Only you fill my soul, only from you do I drink

It took hold slowly, my passion, my flame

forever it will bind, you to me, me to you

the flesh, the salt water, the blood, the ink



My own Painted Lady, my own Muse

can you feel my heart pound?

do you see my brow sweat?

do you love me too?


(Chorus)

I love you baby, the flesh, the salt water, the blood and the ink

Only you fill my soul, only from you do I drink

It took hold slowly, my passion, my flame

forever it will bind, you to me, me to you

the flesh, the salt water, the blood, the ink


Days and weeks

months and years

go by in a blur

you are the fuel

of my hearts fire


(Chorus)

I love you baby, the flesh, the salt water, the blood and the ink

Only you fill my soul, only from you do I drink

It took hold slowly, my passion, my flame

forever it will bind, you to me, me to you

the flesh, the salt water, the blood, the ink



All my life for you I've waited

my flaming heart burns unabated

kiss me, hold me, love me now

the time has come, you must allow

the final act.

Is

Now


(Chorus)

I love you baby, the flesh, the salt water, the blood and the ink

Only you fill my soul, only from you do I drink

It took hold slowly, my passion, my flame

forever it will bind, you to me, me to you

the flesh, the salt water, the blood, the ink
